While I have no problem with waterboarding terrorists, some people do, and those people were likely horrified when they heard that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times. As it turns out, he wasn't. He simply had 183 pours of water on his face, each lasting a few seconds.
Another high level terrorist, Abu Zubaydah, was also not waterboarded 83 times, as reported. "The Times and dozens of other outlets wrote that the CIA also waterboarded senior Al Qaeda member Abu Zubaydah 83 times, but Zubayda himself, a close associate of Usama bin Laden, told the Red Cross he was waterboarded no more than 10 times."
See, we're really not bad people!

Only 183 times? I wonder why the interrogators (remember we're lead to believe that these people are the one who are less than human) didn't pour another glass of water on him. Oh, I have a hypothesis: maybe Khalid Sheikh Mohammed decided that he didn't want anymore and truthfully started answering questions.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else ever wondered: after evening prayer, after asking god to destroy America, if Mohammed ask for a glass of water before bed?
